Hi Nancy, welcome to OG, perhaps something that would be better is using fabric pots, roots are better oxygenated and air pruned, they don’t contort around like in plastic pots. I transplant from seedling starters to 1 gallon and some days before flipping to the definitive 3 gallon fabric pot … beer3|nullxnull

Welcome to OG! @Kin

Thanks for the info @SmknCanuck. I’ll be transplanting this week from clear solo cups into 3 and 5 gallon cloth pots. I’ll follow your advice on wetting the bottom part of the soil before transplanting. I started a grow log if you’d like to see.

I wish I were living in Canada, here in South Africa you need Millions of Rands for a license, and you need lawyers to help you get this license. So only corporations can afford a grow license here in South Africa.

How long into flowering can a plant be transplanted? I flipped to 12/12 about a week ago.

I transplanted the plants as soon as they started to show a slight lack of nutrients. I was a little late with the transplant. :slightly_smiling_face:
The new soil has enough nutrients in it, and I’m afraid to add anything.
How much time does the root need to start using the new soil and give the plant what it needs. The lower leaves still continue to turn yellow.
Thank you

You can water the pot in circles far from the stem to force roots to expand looking for that humidity. … beer2|nullxnull

@Dog , I believe it’s better to transplant some days before flipping, normally once it’s mature and sexed, otherwise you stunt in some way the flowering process… beer3|nullxnull
